Pros
I loved their orientation, it was well thought out, but I'm sure all the mega truck company's orientations are as well. Their training is top notch at TMC and the trucks are pretty dependable, but, far too much CHROME. Trucks wind up looking cheesy. Tarp pay is highest in industry, at $40 per large (8ft) tarp, and $30 per small (6ft). I had a great fleet manager that seemed to care about my home time and pay, but I'm sure they're trained and forced to be that way, so, no matter what mega company you choose, I'm sure you'll find similar fleet managers. TMC has the largest shipper/consignee area of all the flatbed companies, and I'm sure that is because they are also the largest flatbed fleet. They brag and heavily push their ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program) big time, but it's only good for those who plan on staying more than 6yrs.
Cons
They push the percentage pay system onto new drivers, knowing they'll fall for the bait, and I did. Until you drive for them long enough, you'll assume that percent is better than cent per mile, when in fact it isn't, UNLESS you were able to see the bills yourself and verify actual gross load pay. They don't tell you the real load pay, you're only allowed to see what shows up on your Qualcomm unit and are forced to just trust that they're being truthful and you don't get paid for empty miles unless they're more than 150. In the end, I made about $900/week which isn't bad, but, because of not knowing true gross pay, they are able to manipulate what you make per load and that just isn't right to me. TMC also pays NO guaranteed weekly minimum and NO reimbursement for not being home some weekends. Had to leave for a company that guaranteed weekly minimum, paid a non-home on weekend bonus, and cent per mile so there is no behind the scene manipulation of your pay.
